Just keep trying. Eventually that first stitch will happen, it did for me and many others. Learning how to keep the yarn on the tip of the right needle as I took it back through the stitch was challenging enough, keeping the stitch on the left needle while I did it was even more so. Then, after working so hard to keep it one there, I'm supposed to push it off the end on purpose? Hang in there, it'll happen.
